SPLENDID OPPORTUNITIES
For Investments in Growing Towns In
Minnesota.

For Investments in Growing Towns In
A splendid opportunity is afforded
business men and mechanics at the
new towns Of Spicer, and Hawick, in
kandiyohi county, Minnesota. These
towns are located on the ST. Cloud &
Willmar branch Of the St. P, M. & M.
R'y, giving a direct Duluth, St. Paul
and Minneapolis market. The road
was completed late last fall, yet three
elevators have been erected at Spicer,
and two at Hawick; and at both points
an immense amount of wheat has been
marketed. fs ~ at-&
These towns have the advantage of
being located in an old, well-settled
country, and do not, like frontier towns,
have to wait until the country settles,
for business. They are surrounded by
as good farming land as there is in the
state. Good wood can be had at two
OF three dollars per cord, delivered at
your door. The climate is as healthy
as can be. found anywhere. The
county is free from debt. 1t has only
one village containing over one thou
sand inhabitants, the population Of the
county being about fifteen thousand.
Spicer is located on the shores Of
Green Lake, a lake known and ac-
knowledged to be one Of the finest
in the state, seven miles long by five
miles wide. The lake abounds with
fish of many varieties, among which
are Bass, Wall-eyed Pike, and the cell
ebrat.d fresh water Whitefsh. It is
surrounded by timber except the small
opening on its southwest shore where
Spicer is located, and is entirely free
from mud and vegetation. It's waters
are noted for purity. Even in the hot
test weather the waters of the lake are
cool, on account Of its depth and the
many springs flowing into it. Those
living on its border use it for drinking
and domestic purposes during the whole
year. A large number of st. Paul and
Minneapolis citizens have already sig
nified their intention to erect cr.AAtagys
and spend the summer months on its
shores. A boat with capacity to con-
vey three hundred people is contracted
for. and will be placed on the lake as
soon as spring opens.
Hawick is situated on the prairie
about ten miles north of Spicer and
about one mile from heavy timber In
! its vicinity was one of the first settle
,nentS in this part of the country. pre-

Jack Rabbits.

In Grant county, Ore, where the
bounty ION jackrabbit scalps is five cents
each, some OF the farmers stretch a wire
screen across the prairie, the screen
having meshes gust large enough for a
rabbit to stick his head through. Then
men and dogs round up the rabbits,
and drive them toward the screen, and,
in their hurry to escape, they stick their
heads through and are caught. Then
the farmers scalp the captives and let
them go, hoping that each will raise
another five cent scalp before long.
This is the story told by the Grant
county NtaOs.

kindly. 1t was no use trying to per-

man Quinn said, because Gov. Oglesby
said, that for every petition for mercy
received from the friends of the con-
demned men, he could produce hun
dreds from business men and reputable
and law abiding citizens all
over the country requesting him
to remain steadfast In supporting
the decision OF the courts. There was
no unanimity in the demand for mercy.
Some wanted prisoners set free, others
again, he said, talked for new trial for
the condemned men, tut the business
men all were unanimous that the men
should all be hanged. 1t was the best
that the governor could do to commute
the sentences OF Fielden and Schwab to
life imprisonment.
